Employers are obliged to let staff go on jury service, unless they can find an accepted reason for them to be excused, and receive no compensation. Should we be trying to introduce a similar provision to let people become trustees of charities? Lots of people can't get time off in the working day so have to hold charity meetings in the evening but if there were a statutory right to have, say, one day each month for charity work, whether as trustee or otherwise, would it work?
